This heat sink application is an example of a very small part, produced with a nominal wall thickness of .028″. The cross sectional dimension is approximately 1″, and about the same in length. These parts are extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Finishing on the parts is simply cut to length and tumble, or vibratory deburred. This process gives the part a slightly muted finish, but it is basically mill finish, or as extruded. Specialty finishes can also be achieved from vibratory processes, included ball burnishing for a bright finish. Thermoprene is confident that we can assist you in any of your aluminum extrusion need.
